    Ford Dealership left out some bolts!

    I have been having troubles with my car shaking at higher speeds. It is similar to having the tires out of balance except it is intermittent. When I had my car inspected last month, I told the mechanic about the problem I was having. I had him rebalance the tires and check out the car...

    Got mud flaps?

    As most of you know, the paint quality on the cobras isn't the best. My front wheel wells are missing most of their paint and there are a lot of chips on the side of the car. The back wheels throw up a lot of stones and the rear bumper cover is pretty rough. A buddy has some $10 mud flaps...

    Gas mileage after a Pulley / Tune

    From what I have read, these cars run real rich. Does doing a pulley / tune combo have a positive effect on gas mileage (assuming you are driving the same way)? I am considering the pulley / tune for several reasons besides the obvious HP gain. What effect will it have on gas mileage? What...

    Has anyone used the MGW shifter?

    I saw an ad for this "quiet shifter" on the web and I wondered if anyone here has tried it. I seems that all short-throw shifters are the same basic design but this one is totaly different. At $179 it is a good price too. Here is the link to the web page...

    How many of you have shift lights?

    I have hit my rev limiter on several occasions and I am worried that I am going to do some damage. After doing some research It appears that a large percentage of Cobra owners have the raptor shift light. I am leaning towards that light as it is cheap, easy to install, and is very stealth. I...

    How long does a Cobra clutch last?

    For those of you who are already on their second clutch, how long are they lasting, how hard are you on the car, and do you have a lot of mods? Was it replaced under warranty? I have almost 17,000 miles on my car and the clutch feels funny when I let off the pedal. It pedal does not operate...

    Does your Steeda exhaust gurgle

    Does your Steeda cat back exhaust make a gurgle sound when you let off the gas. After the first week of owning the exhaust, I noticed that it makes a gurgling sound from the back pressure. I had the shop check the exhaust for leaks and they said it is ok. Are any of you guys having this with...

    Got my Steeda Cat Back on!

    I bought my Steeda Cat back new off of Ebay for $425 from a guy who was getting divorced and never installed it on his Cobra. Apparently the ex took the car too. Poor guy. I purchased the Steeda exhaust because I thought is was the quitest exhaust out there and had no dront. I was looking...

    Who should I buy Steeda exhaust from?

    I am looking to purchase a cat-back system for my '03 Cobra. From the research I have done on this terminator forum, it seems to be the best fit for me. I like how it has the lowest drone, and isn't too loud unless you get on it. My 7 month pregnant wife would kill me if I got a loud exhaust...

    Garages

    I was looking at a post last night of a guy who just brought home a new Cobra. He posted a picture of it in his garage parked next to his Viper. It was a sweet looking garage. It looked cleaner than my kitchen. For all you Cobra owners whose love for cars extends into their garage, post...

    Speed

    It is ironic how we are all obsessed with speed, yet we are on the slowest web page I have ever been on. I feel like I am using dial up again. I know it is not my connection because I have a cable modem at home and a T1 conncection at work. Is there something I can change in my settings to...

    Just got my Nitto's

    I just got two Nitto 555's (not the R's) on the front of the Cobra. I will put some on the back in a couple weeks after I roast this set. Here is what I think of them. They are a sweet looking tire, they ride stiffer than the factory tires. Consequently, the ride is a little rougher but...

    '03 vs '04 cobra & warranty issues

    Two comments and my reasons for them: I have always heard that you should never purchase a car the first year it is produced because the manufacturer hasn't had a chance to work out the bugs. My college buddy works for GM and he criticizes the Cobra because he feels that it was just...

    Exhaust sounds

    I am looking to change the cat back exhaust on my '03 Cobra. I drive 70 miles per day and I can't stand an exhaust that has the humming / drone sound while cruising on the highway. What web page can I go to so I can listen to different exhausts on my car?
